Kipsipõhist

Kipsipõhist refers to a construction material or method that utilizes gypsum as a primary component. Gypsum, a naturally occurring sulfate mineral, is commonly processed into plaster of Paris or used in the manufacturing of drywall or plasterboard. In construction, kipsipõhist applications range from interior wall and ceiling finishes to specialized acoustic and fire-resistant boards.

The use of kipsipõhist materials offers several advantages. Gypsum is relatively inexpensive, readily available, and easy to work with, making it a popular choice for builders. Its non-combustible nature contributes to fire safety in buildings. Furthermore, gypsum-based products can help regulate humidity levels due to their ability to absorb and release moisture.

Common kipsipõhist products include standard drywall panels, moisture-resistant drywall for bathrooms and kitchens, and fire-resistant drywall that incorporates additives for enhanced fire performance. Plaster, a traditional kipsipõhist material, is still used for decorative finishes and repairs. The installation of kipsipõhist typically involves screwing panels to a stud framework or applying plaster directly to lath or masonry. Finishing often includes taping joints, applying joint compound, sanding, and painting. The versatility and cost-effectiveness of kipsipõhist materials have made them a staple in modern construction.
